Elon Musk may have stirred another controversy this year. In one of his latest posts on social media, the SpaceX chief executive shared a one word caption. It featured a repost of an X (formerly Twitter) user’s views on the term “minorities.” Musk’s response to the original post received over 10 million views within 24 hours.
In the meantime, the Tesla CEO’s one-word post has gone viral on social media. Netizens find themselves on opposing sides of the conversation as some agreed with Musk’s viewpoint, while others criticized his stance. As the conversation continues in the comment section, an important question that emerges here is the question of privilege and accessibility for people from different walks of life.

However, the other category criticized the Tesla CEO for his lack of evidence to support the statistical information regarding the white population across the globe. They also pointed out the fact that the white population gets adequate resources that supports their necessities and welfare, unlike other ethnic communities that are continued to be discriminated against to this day.

Whites form 50%+ of the population of the US. That's not a minority, that's the majority. If you start comparing your population with China or India in absolute numbers, then you might sound smaller, but in your country you are not any minority.

The concern regarding white minority and their situation in contrast to that of the non-white communities in the US have been gaining significant clout on social media for a significant period of time. For now, what matters most is the need to address issues that affect the livelihood and welfare of those who do not have access to the basic resources of sustenance.
